JPATS Pilot
I was wondering if anybody has any first hand information on flying for the US Marshall Service (Justice Prisoner & Alien Transportation System) other than the typical Google search? I have an interview with them next month to fly with them out of Oklahoma City and have done extensive research on them but was just hoping that somebody had first hand knowledge b/c of course, the internet doesn't lie. Thanks. https://www.usmarshals.gov/jpats/

Pilot Life and raising a family
Actually, I am feeling old and funny b/c the only people a 1Lt or 2Lt can shit on are the college students or ROTC/Academy cadets. Good job though and keep fighting the good fight (no sarcasm).

Pilot Life and raising a family
For some reason I found this funny b/c I'm guessing a 1Lt, just a little over 1 year out of UPT. Maybe I am wrong, but still funny to me...

CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) info
I took the MILCOMP test to receive the CFII but what I think is funny is that I don't have the CFI. So, I can instruct people while airborne and in the weather but I don't have the privileges to instruct them to takeoff or land... Must be the FAA's way of still getting more money out of you and keeping some control over the licenses.

Apparently having "good hands" no longer matters....
"You see them as your little prodigies and your children. You want to foster them into being really good pilots. After I’m done with them they are going to get their wings. It’s our job to make sure they’re ready for that responsibility. Getting them there is kind of a cool thing.” WTF?!?

Columbus AFB Information
We kept ours at the Columbus Marina on the Tombigbee. Cost us $65 a month for dry storage and then $10 everytime we wanted it in and out of the water. The only reason we didn't go to Tuscaloosa is b/c our boat was too big for the that lake. We have a 29' Mach 1 and I think Lake Tuscaloosa's max boat size is 24'.
